We copy from the ' Goldisboro Messenger of a recent date, the following very ex-j cellent address, which is applicable to morer places than the tewn in which it was published : To the Citizens of Go!dtdxro : In pursuance of a request from sev eral of the members . of Goldsboro Council, I issue the following address to the citizens of Goldsboro and vicin ity : 'For four years there has been an or ganized temperance society in this town. The members of this society have worked sedulously for the pro motion of the cause of temperance ; but thev have received verv little en couragement from the people of this commuhitv. for whose interests they are laboring.

" There was an open letter beside the plate of the lady and glancing over her shoulder you might have read the following : , 'I )w' Father and.

The word came in a cherry cry across trio man. The nature of this Providence is such as can be inilnonivd by prayer. While this Providence is over the grass, the lillies, and the birds---'aud over oil men: vet " His eves are over the righteous and His ears are open to their cry." " The eves of the Lord run to and fro through the earth to show himself strong in behalf of them whose hearts are perfect toward Him." This is the Bible teaching. Is there any reason in this doctrine 'i Can God af fect the regular laws of nature so as to make any difference between the right eous and the wicked? Does He not rule by regular laws that can not be changed? If so how cim there be any difference in His administrations ! Th miKwer is this is the ru'e the law 1 v which He governs the administration to which He has pledged Himself. t.l it a difference shall be niade. The right eous shall be heard His arm shall protect His hand shall supply. The administration is infallible and cannot fail. The law that God will answer prayers and bestow blessings is as unchange able as the law of gravitation. Abra ham, Isaac and Jacob believed this doe- trine and it gave them comfort. Dan iel believed it and was willing to go to the lion's den as a rebel rather than distrust God. Many righteous people believe it now and " commit their way unto the Lord" fully believing that " He will bring it to rass." "What a comfortable doc- - L trine.
